So I got these lift arms for free, pretty sure they go to a ford but I am thinking of adapting them to the WD. They are short so let me know yalls thoughts on how it could or couldn't work.

most of the aftermarket 3 points have and "adaptor" that bolts to the drawbar / under the tractor and the 3 point arms connect to that...

Could this adapter be made? I think my main question/ concerns is how do I tell if they will be long enough to stick back for implament clearance on the tires?

you can make any adaptor if you have the tallent... I was just showing HOW it is suppose to look.. You can look at the photos and estimate the LENGTH of the lower arm relative to the other parts... It might be best to look at a couple tractors at a local dealer or Farm and see how far the arms stick back behind the tires.... "MOST" tractors will be about the same, does not have to be ALLIS or a WD45.

no dimensions given, but the LOWER ARM sticks out BEHIND the rear tire.. I think you will find it is  4-6 inches depending on what tractor you check..

Picture #2, see the hole in the drawbar bail?  that is where I would start, as a mounting point, and as Hud said, arms are backwards, and you will have to remove that pulley and bracket, to start to mock it up. I'd start with a length of all thread, inserted through those 2 holes, and you might need spacers made of pipe, to space the arms firmly apart.  once you have it mocked up, then see how it operates.  I suspect those arms are a little short, and also you will need to rig up some sort of anti-sway chains...Wink

Got some more pictures here.
Are the chain links suppose to face eachother in the first picture?
Also one has adjustment and the other doesn't, is that normal or modified.

Chains on the inside is OK... Your arms need to be switched front to back...

look at this drawing... your vertical arms should tip backward at the bottom... and be closer to the plow end of the arm... so more of the arm goes UNDER the tractor..

here is a photo of 3 pt on a WD45... Note the lower arms and where they attach to the vertical arms... Look at the angle of the vertical arms... you can also see the sway bar links ( your chains) on the inside of the arms.

A company called Saginaw built this 3pt conversion. There is a large 1/2" thick steel L channel with ears spaced out to pin the arms too. It bolts up to the draw bar bracketry with 4 3/4" bolts.

.

I did the conversion you are trying.
Ford tractor lower arms. Spin yours around, actually swap right vs left you have and the chains are inside still.

Look at your draw bar. See the angled U bracket that supports it. Look under the tractor belly and that bracket bolts to two L beams with multiple holes. I got similar bolts long enough to go through a beam, add spacers/washers to space the Ford bar eye out one to two inches, another washer, and a nylon lock nut.

Check the swing for clearance, binding.

Then your links to the lift arms yours look ok. Verify carefully the lift and length of those links to not bind something.

Get or make a U bracket to go around the WD rocker arm and bolt your top link to it. Yesterday s tractor site and others sell that bracket.

Attach your sway chains/links to the hitch bar bracket.
